EFF SC sets deadline for tertiary institutions

The Economic Freedom Fighters Student Command (EFF SC) says they will take to the streets if they do not get a satisfactory answer from the Higher Education department on Wednesday about scrapping registration fees at tertiary institutions.

EFF SC president Peter Keetse says the same government has also promised free education and it has still not delivered.

Keetse says the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) also continues to disappoint, with some students having failed in 2018 because they never received book allowances.

He says they will embark on a shutdown led by working class parents if such issues are not resolved.
